LONTANANZAS
© Alicia Minjarez Ramírez
Translation: Alaric Gutiérrez

I built you up
From diaphanous drops
that clarify
the thin contour
of the wind’s arms.

Those dancing
upon my face,
hold up and excuse
the rising of
light stealth birds
on the horizon.

Sky wings bearing
fragrant
polyphonic aromas,
diluting moist loams
in vetiver and bergamot,
disseminated
over your body’s
drought.

I envision you
In my silent
barren palms,
as drops
upon my river;
ecstatic the open sea
conspires,
flows against formed
verbal tide,
in ivy language.

Warp naked
fanciful voices,
dawning deep
inside my skin,
cracking
desire’s opacity.

I built you up!
while it rains.

LOVERS

Mexico.

​
Longing mitigates
the drunken night,
treasuring the imprint
abolished by desire
that breaks us
and brings together,
intrinsic fire
of profane verses
under the intrigue
of shadows.

Materiality keeps
our bodies tied up to
the lunar instant
of balsamic ether,
burning desires
falling apart
evaporating
the mossy seduction
of having the absolute void.

You’re dust in the breeze
of my conscious being,
bringing delightful
and melodic essences

inside hollow fruit trees
of worn out headings.
Imprecise and sharp legend
of upcoming evenings,
barking at the sap sight.

Derange me, seduce me, drive me.
Like a consonant plunging
upon the rhetorical memory,
dialect upsetting and chaining us up
beyond our hands.

Exhalation,
dementia without sanity
defining my earthly Nirvana,
meanwhile, I belong to you
under the remote
silence glass…
By rubbing
your timely
spike.
IT RAINS…
© Alicia Minjarez Ramírez
Translated by: Alaric Gutiérrez

A longing breeze
tries to show itself,
like nostalgia
migrating
up in the air.

Water permeates
my body.
Your breath
fills in
the context.

Longing secrets
that the wind
shakes up in the offing,
then nothingness.

I walk behind
upon the moisture
left by the drops
under the branches.

Birds get detached
from their nests,
looking for
the promised shelter.

Church bells ring,
outside
the night
interrupts.

I long to dry off
the rain,
like those birds
besetting
park trees
in the evening.​

The stillness of your eyes
invades me…
Ecstatic wings,
paralyzing their flight.
At my silence’s feet.

FOGGY SOLITUDES
© Alicia Minjarez Ramírez
Translated by: Alaric Gutiérrez.

I find myself
close – distant
to the zephyr breeze,
I question in vain.
Foggy solitudes,
dressed up as equinoxes
in perennial springs.

I require to silence
flooding words,
to silence tears
adorning my face.
Sadness dwelling
like a stowaway
in soul’s murky mirrors.

Absence afflictions
gradually succumb
between my barren hands.
Pointless
to grasp into hope!
Reason outshines
the fragmented heart
and the bare silence
suffocates the stars.

Stars that won’t shine
upon nostalgia seas
taking away opacities
and a shattered mirror
where my reflection
fades away
right now.

Cracking in my own roots…
dark memories,
empty stealth,
and leaves
scattered on the ground.

PAST
© Alicia Minjarez Ramírez
Translation: Alaric Gutiérrez
Behind that door
are all the things
which bordered my past.
Stripped illusions
untouched by words,
sheltered and helpless
in the heat of the past hours.

Flows of dreams
throbbing immensity
dragging the continent.
Dusty tide converging
adorned by smiles,
moon in balance
in this cave painting.

Ecstatic mornings
in nightly suns,
luminescence,
harmonic discrepancy
in the green channel,
your pillow
the evening of my hands.

Hypothetical consonants
defying the night
inversed cups
of the same sky,
coded tongue in codices
inspired in your mouth
for my ear.

As one who sees
opaque footprints
thrown into the battle
of the night,
I happen by inertia
where the stone
becomes the lake
with no more arms
than the airily sight

enlightened and eternal.

I advance helpless as the rain,
wind that doesn’t turn back,
never returning water
reflecting my diffused face.

Last contemplation
of the knocker.
I brick up the door.

Drink up my words…
and resume my steps.
